Gamers Recall Midnight Launch Crowds Despite Digital Downloads

A post by @ArcadeChannel asked if users had ever waited in line for a new game or console and included a photo of a crowded store. @BillyChatterton replied that the image shows a mall interior and described longer outdoor waits in cold November or December weather for holiday releases, noting some console lines lasted days. @MissDarkFaerie said they waited for the Nintendo Switch 2 and found the experience fun. @WhiteDewott expressed missing GameStop stores, which are absent in their country. @NostalgiaFolder shared a related nostalgic image.
